North Coast Transmission Line

Construction has begun on a major transmission line aimed at powering new mining, LNG and industrial projects in northern B.C.

BC Hydro says it will reuse Site C worker camp facilities to support construction of its $6-billion North Coast Transmission Line in northern British Columbia.

The agreement was signed Tuesday in Prince George, where the B.C. Natural Resources Forum is being held this week.

An annual report backed by hundreds of British Columbia organizations says the province is backsliding on its climate commitments.

British Columbia's NDP government introduced a slew of legislative reforms in 2025 giving Cabinet broader powers to fast-track major projects and centralize decision-making. But Premier David Eby is rejecting the suggestion that the moves amount to weakening independent oversight or sidelining the legislature. 

The government’s bill to accelerate the construction of the North Coast Transmission Line passed third reading Wednesday evening, despite opposition from B.C. Conservatives and the Greens.

The Ksi Lisims liquified natural gas project and North Coast Transmission Line are among the next group of projects to be considered for fast-tracking by the federal government. 

Premier David Eby isn’t ruling out an early election if his government’s bill to fast-track construction of the North Coast transmission line fails to pass.

The British Columbia government tabled legislation Monday aimed at fast-tracking the construction of the North Coast Transmission Line and enable First Nation’s co-ownership of the project. 

The fall session of the B.C. legislature began Monday with a rare lineup of four political parties represented in the chamber.
